- From Nike’s standpoint, is this a fair assessment of their ethical standards? Explain the some of the ethical issues that Nike is facing in the case.
- Explain what Nike has done to improve this situation since this 2011 video. Include the use of codes of ethics and other ethical standards implemented within the organization.
- Is your opinion of Nike any different now after viewing this video? Would this change your buying behavior with respect to Nike products?
